MANCHESTER (United Kingdom):

MANCHESTER (United Kingdom): Roma's talismanic striker Francesco Totti became the Champions League's oldest ever goal-scorer when he netted in his side's 1-1 draw at Group E rivals Manchester City on Tuesday. The former Italy international, who turned 38 on Saturday, raced through to chip City goalkeeper Joe Hart from team-mate Radja Nainggolan's pass in the 23rd minute, after Sergio Aguero's penalty had given the hosts the lead. Totti takes the record from former Manchester United midfielder Ryan Giggs, who was aged 37 and 289 days when he scored in a 1-1 draw away to Benfica in September 2011. "When you talk about Totti, you can only say really banal things (in comparison with what he does)," said Roma coach Rudi Garcia. "I took great pleasure from his goal today. His talent is what made the difference in front of the goalkeeper. I hope it's the start of a fantastic story for Roma."
